On the other hand:

Most Frontends are not super interactive google tables like applications and never will be and frameworks won’t magically make your code maintainable or enable you to work with 50 other guys on that page that interacts with a simple CRUD-API, yet people choose a complex framework meant for huge projects and pile even more dependencies on to of it for that kind of stuff. it’s like using a fleet of 18 wheel trucks for grocery shopping, when a basket and a bicycle are really all you’ll need for that.

i’d guess most websites would be fine and feel “modern” with html, css and a small library for ajax stuff, because doing that by hand is repetetive and error prone.
